Android TV in itself has a lot of promise, but the first major device, the Nexus Player, isn’t all that spectacular.

Not content with making a stylish Android set-top box, Razer is also planning on attacking the Android gaming market on its home turf.

It's far from the first controller made with Android in mind, but it's the first to come from perhaps the most high-profile game peripheral company out there, and is thus worthy of examination. ...

Riddle me this, dear reader: when is a car no longer a 1.5-ton machine? When it becomes an accessory to a 1-lb tablet, perhaps?

We've known that Razer was working on its own branded version of an Android TV set-top box for more than half a year, but at CES 2015 the well-known gaming peripheral company has given the gadget its coming out party. The Razer Forge TV hopes to be the go-to choice for gamers, with support for up to four simultaneous players, keyboard and mouse input, and (eventually) streaming high-end games from a local gaming PC.

Gameloft has a number of "top-tier" properties like Modern Combat and Asphalt, but it's been a while since N.O.V.A. got any love. That's Gameloft's totally-not-a-ripoff-of-Crysis sci-fi shooter. Well, there's a new version of N.O.V.A., but it's mostly the same as the last one. This is N.O.V.A. 3 Freedom Edition. It's the same game, but it costs nothing to download and has no in-app purchases. The catch is that N.O.V.A. 3 Freedom Edition has ads. Gameloft Releases N.O.V.A. 3 Freedom Edition, A...

When a regular projector simply won't do at your next business meeting, there's the ZTE Spro 2. This mini projector has a touchscreen and runs Android with full access to the Play Store. It's probably a really slick way to project slides on the wall, but I feel like someone unnecessarily dropped some vowels from the name (or maybe a hyphen or something). Here are the available specs for the ZTE Spro 2. The ZTE Spro 2 Is An Android-Powered Smart Projector With Google Play Access, An LTE Hots...

It appears to be a growing trend that Android’s biggest companies have started to announce less and less at the Consumer Electronics Show over the years, but today’s performance by Samsung seemed to take the cake for futility, from an Android perspective at least.
